My HF unit has always took some cranking to get started cold.
Installing an NGK spark plug (BP5ES) helped, but if it's been sitting for any length of time it usually 8 or 10 pulls to get it going.
I can't remember where I saw it, but one guy had a HF unit that started hard, he found the choke plate had too large of a hole drilled in it, he installed a pop rivet in the hole and said it started much faster.
I believe this might have been fixed on the newer units, this was the older blue units from HF like I have.
You can buy the complete carburetor on Amazon or Ebay for less than $15 US!
As for the generator moving when you are cranking it, I kneel down and rest my knee against the gas tank and that keeps it from moving, I usually have my free hand on the carry handle.
